His first nine years (1981&ndash;1990) were in various areas of University public relations. He worked intentionally through writing, speaking and programming to shape University culture around the concept of what it means to be an &ldquo;Andrews Man&rdquo; or &ldquo;Andrews Woman.&rdquo;</p> <p> After four years at the General Conference, Ron returned to Andrews in 1999 as director of Andrews University Press. During his tenure, most of it based in his beloved Sutherland House, the Press established its reputation as the primary academic publishing house to serve the worldwide Adventist Church. Major projects included the &ldquo;College Faith&rdquo; series, the &ldquo;Andrews Study Bible,&rdquo; the &ldquo;Andrews Bible Commentary,&rdquo; special editions of Ellen G. White books, and many influential books on theology, biblical studies, Adventist history, and faith and science.</p> <p> He says, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s hard to imagine a greater honor than to work for this great institution for so long, and just maybe qualify for the title of &lsquo;Andrews Man.&rsquo;&rdquo;</p> Thu, Jun 11, 2026 05:00 pm -0400 Sabbath Begins https://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68184 Fri, Jun 12, 2026 09:21 pm -0400 Pioneer @ Worship https://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68185 Sat, Jun 13, 2026 09:00 am -0400 Pioneer @ Worship https://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68185 Sat, Jun 13, 2026 11:45 am -0400 One Place Fellowship https://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68186 Sat, Jun 13, 2026 11:45 am -0400
